SAN'A, YEMEN — Yeminis crowded into polling booths Sunday for parliamentary elections seen as a crucial test of the Arabian Peninsula's only full-fledged democracy. But at least 11 people were killed in scattered violence, some of it reportedly linked to the vote. International election monitors said, however, that voting was going smoothly in much of the country, with no major violations of voting laws by midday Sunday.
